Retirement and forum shutdown (17 Jan 2022)
Hi,
John Howell who has managed the forum for years is getting on and wishes to retire from the role of managing it.
Over the years, he has managed the forum through good days and bad days and he has always been fair.
He has managed to bring his passion for fish keeping to the forum and keep it going for so long.
I wish to thank John for his hard work in keeping the forum going.
With John wishing to "retire" from the role of managing the forum and the forum receiving very little traffic, I think we must agree that forum has come to a natural conclusion and it's time to put it to rest.
I am proposing that the forum be made read-only from March 2022 onwards and that no new users or content be created. The website is still registered for several more years, so the content will still be accessible but no new topics or replies will be allowed.
If there is interest from the ITFS or other fish keeping clubs, we may redirect traffic to them or to a Facebook group but will not actively manage it.
I'd like to thank everyone over the years who helped with forum, posted a reply, started a new topic, ask a question and helped a newbie in fish keeping. And thank you to the sponsors who helped us along the away. Hopefully it made the hobby stronger.
I'd especially like to thank John Howell and Valerie Rousseau for all of their contributions, without them the forum would have never been has successful.
Thank you
Darragh Sherwin

I do not have a big experience with this as i planted some in my tank 3 weeks ago. Actually The plant is doing fine, it grows slowly but surely. I only use a diy co2 and add esay carbo and profito every day. From what i read on various French web site this plant require a lot of light, from 1w/2l to 1w/1l.
Up until today I had only 36w t8 of light in my 150l tank, but I change my ballast and now I have 2x24t5 and 2x28t5 so I just can't wait to see the results on the plants !
when planting this plant, do not cut all the moss holding the roots, try to keep around 1/2 cm of it so the plant can hold on to your substrate. I got mine from seahorse and I just trimmed the moss of and cut the plant into 6 pieces each. Then I planted it in a cross pattern, or like you would see the number 5 on a dice
Hope that helps !
ho and I updated my previous topic because of an Alternanthera reineckii Pink problem so if you have any knowledge on that one I would really appreciate !
thx Inza.
